Everything was excellent! My three kids 16,14 and 10 year old loved the house. The swimming pool is so clean and very well maintained. The house has everything that you will need for the stay. I had a chance to meet Mark and Carol and they are very friendly and easy to deal with. I would definitely come back in the future.

Family and I wanted a weekend to just relax and get away to celebrate a birthday and the house was perfect for that. Plenty of space. Pool was clean and was big drawn for our stay. My daughters favorite place was the swing in the gazebo. Close to main road but yard was still quiet and private.

We had a wonderful family experience at this property! The house was spacious, clean, and easy to access, and communication with the host was great throughout our stay. The pool was definitely a highlight and gave our family plenty of opportunities to relax, have fun, and spend quality time together.This property has so much potential to be an even more amazing vacation home. A few upgrades would make a big difference, particularly the furniture and mattresses, which could use some updating for added comfort. The lighting throughout the house could also be improved.Unfortunately, the gas tank was empty, so we were unable to use the fire pit to make s’mores, which was something the family was really looking forward to.Other than those things, we truly enjoyed our stay and appreciated the space, cleanliness, pool, and the host’s excellent communication. We were able to spend some great quality time together and create wonderful family memories. With a few updates and improvements, this property could be an outstanding family getaway. Overall, we had a great stay and would consider returning in the future!

Thank you for your review! On our informational sheet we leave our phone numbers and ask for you to contact us with any questions or concerns. I wish you would have called us about the fire table because we always have an extra propane tank available. We actually have extra mattresses as well. You gave me some some food for thought and I appreciate that. All the best to you and your family, Carole

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The home was spotless, incredibly comfortable, and perfectly located—everything you’d hope for in a getaway. What truly set this experience apart were the owners, who are such warm and thoughtful people; they went above and beyond to personally deliver a forgotten priceless item, a gesture that meant so much to us. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this special place to future guests.

About the host

Hosted by Mark and Carole Watson

Host profile image
We are houseparents at Milton Hershey School and live with our elementary kids on campus most of the time. We love entertaining, so even though we won't be staying in our home when you are, we will be glad to try to make sure your stay is really pleasant!

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of the big back yard for playing in. There is a 20 x 40 ft. in ground pool to enjoy. There is a play set for younger kids :) We love sitting in the swing in the gazebo visiting with family and friends. There is a large deck and a lot of comfortable seating. The deck has afternoon shade and with the outdoor grill it is a fun place to share a meal.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy our home because if has a cozy family room with a gas fireplace. The downstairs area can easily have groups playing games or talking in different areas so everyone can do what they like. There is a ping pong table in the sun room and a pool table in the basement. So much to do! We like the 4 bedrooms so that there is plenty of sleeping space. We think it is an attractive place to come and relax.
